The Kaodili Cares Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, has opened registration for this year’s edition of the Garden-City Spelling Bee competition for primary schools.

The Port Harcourt Edition of the competition, now in its 7th year, is billed to hold between 10th and 12th  March for the preliminary while the final comes up on 13th.

According to a statement by Ifeoma Egbuonu, chief executive officer of the foundation, the idea behind the competition was to contribute her quota to the educational development of Nigeria as well as give the participating pupils the opportunity to develop their  self-confidence and learn the public speaking skill at the primary school level.

Egbuonu said the competition, done in collaboration with Garden-City  Amusement Park, had hosted over 400 pupils in the past, disclosing that it was now open for sponsorship by corporate organisations and philanthropists. She said the foundation could not do it all alone, having sown seed for seven years running.

“I believe that we are all stakeholders in developing our nation’s educational sector and as such giving academic scholarship as well as other forms of support to the underprivileged through our  foundation’s annual event will be highly encouraging,” she said.

According to the host, registration is opened to schools and individual pupils interested in participating and that cash prizes, trophies as well as medals would be carted away by winners.

She said the foundation would bring the same Garden-City Spelling competition to Lagos and Abuja subsequently sometime in the year.
